Great post.

I, sometimes, find myself having a pity party and feeling scared of what's to come (my court date for my 2nd dui will happen sometime in 2010).

I also have a job, but it's not a career. I have very little money, but I do have a job.

...then it hits me. (this is me talking to myself) "dude, you could have killed someone or a family with your blackout drinking and driving and wrecking. Be thankful you were allowed to live and that you didn't hurt anyone. Whatever happens at court is gravy. Be thankful you have the opportunity to turn this around and give back".

May sound silly, but I have to put in into perspective sometimes.
